Eminem is the stage name of popular rapper Marshall Bruce Mathers III. Born October 17, 1972 (age 46), Mathers grew up in Warren, Michigan. He is an award-winning musician with eleven Grammy Awards in addition to a singular Academy Award.

He also made a song, "Mosh", which was rather infamous for not only denouncing the War on Terror and making several anti-War statements, but its music video also had Eminem's persona leading a mob with torches and pitchforks to storm the Capitol Building in apparent similarities to the French Revolution, as well as a sight-gag showing Dick Cheney having an apparent heart attack.
